  • Knowing how the three brain networks function suggests different approaches for teaching information (what), for teaching skills and strategies (how), and for teaching students to love learning (why)..
  • Individualizing the ways that students work toward goals is feasible if a variety of tools and media are available.
  • Another approach to individualizing is to build flexibility directly into the curriculum, using embedded, flexible supports. CAST is researching and developing such responsive tools and materials.
